Title: Celestial School of Magic
Rating: PG-13
POV: 3rd Person
Background:
Welcome to the L'école Céleste de Magie, French for the Celestial School of Magic; founded many years ago by a Celestial named Brave-heart. Here, horses of all types could come and learn how to channel and increase their powers. Throughout the years the school continued to produce horses extremely gifted in magic, most who went on to become Elders of the Supreme Council or Mages of some far off land. Shortly after the death of Brave-heart an incident occurred that nearly brought the school to ruin. A rebellious young student called “Black,” succeeded in mastering Level 5 of his power, Spell Casting. He used this great power to wreak havoc on the school and anyone who stood in his way. The teachers at the time banded together in an attempt to defeat Black, but he was immune to all their spells. In the heat of the battle he simple disappeared, leaving the staff puzzled and the students scared. It was many years before the school opened again, and new teachers were hired. Only one teacher remembered the account, for it had taken place when he was a student. Dr. Hornsby returned to work at the school, hiding this dark secret of a terrible time with him. It has been almost a hundred years since the school reopened and few could tell that the building was not the original.

Plot:
Each of the characters receives a mysterious letter in the mail from the Celestial School of Magic with enclosed details about the school and directions. After spending half the night packing characters leave home early the next morning to board the ferry. After a brief ride over a crystal clear lagoon they come face to face with the Celestial School of Magic; a massive brick structure that appears to be very old. Students reside in adjacent dorms, which are more modern and are connected to each of the buildings. The manicured grounds also contain a picnic shelter, large koi pond, recreational center, chapel, and mess hall. Students make small talk in the Chapel before the Principle recites a speech and welcomes the new students. Afterwards new or returning students are given schedules and assigned to their dorms. Today they will unpack and associate themselves with campus before classes start the following day. Students may eat lunch anywhere on campus, but dinner is served for everyone in the mess hall.

Pegasus- ponies are taught Ecrire le Moulage (Spell Casting) where they are enabled to perform chants and create any magic potion using plants. This power also includes immunity to any spell cast on them. (All spells cast will be required to rhyme. I will include a post were we can keep track of all the spells.)
Celestial- since the school opened many years ago few Celestials have attended. Those that have underwent a process of trial and error as the teachers tried to find their special power. Most Celestials have powers pertaining to another breed and a few, rare cases were able to shoot charged electricity out of their horn or fly with amazing speed.

Notes:
The neutral characters stated above are the staff of the Celestial School of Magic.
They will be played solely by me and implicated into the story whenever needed. If you wish to post something such as, "Star listened intently to Dr. Hornsby's lecture on elemental lights." This is appropriate but only when your horse is in the given class.
Please keep OCC to a bare minium and feel free to PM me with your questions!
Before we start I would like to obtain one horse from each breed. Once we have all 7 we will begin the RP.
As a reminder, I will be setting the pace of the RP. You character cannot simply go off on his own mission unless requested to do so.
Thank you! ;)

Terms:
The following may be referenced by me in the RP...

Dream Weaver- A horse who uses powerful hypnotic spells to induce sleep or dream like fantasies.
Morpher- A horse that uses its mastery of disguise to trick others into getting what it wants.
Soothe Sayer- A horse that enters anothers thoughts in order to control them.
Spirit Horses- Ponies from long ago that once guarded the sacred moonstone from the land of UR. They are all gone now but their stories live on.

Please reserve the next post for approval from the mod and the following one for a character guide. ;)
